Arsenal
As if 120 gruelling minutes of Europa League action was not undesirable enough, Arsenal lost both of Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) and William Saliba (back) to injury in the first half on Thursday night, and Arteta is concerned that the former may have sustained another serious issue.
The severity of Saliba's concern is not yet known, but Rob Holding can expect a rare Premier League start in his likely absence, while Eddie Nketiah and Mohamed Elneny will welcome the defensive duo into the infirmary.
Gabriel Jesus completed 45 minutes on his first start since the World Cup on Thursday, but a demotion to the bench now seems likely as Leandro Trossard - who made history with three first-half assists at Craven Cottage - spearheads the charge.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Ramsdale; White, Holding, Gabriel, Tierney; Odegaard, Partey, Xhaka; Saka, Trossard, Martinelli
Crystal Palace
Meanwhile, interim Palace coach McCarthy must cope without the services of Arsenal loanee Albert Sambi Lokonga, who cannot face his parent club, but Will Hughes and/or James McArthur could return from illness to soften the blow.
With Sam Johnstone still nursing a calf problem and Vicente Guaita dealing with a hamstring strain, 19-year-old academy graduate Joe Whitworth could make back-to-back Premier League starts in goal, while defender Nathan Ferguson is still building up his match fitness.
Fresh from being recalled to the England squad, Marc Guehi will offer protection to the teenage shot-stopper, as Cheick Doucoure mans the engine room after somehow escaping a second yellow card at the Amex.
Crystal Palace possible starting lineup:
Whitworth; Clyne, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell; Hughes, Doucoure, Schlupp; Olise, Edouard, Zaha
Prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Crystal Palace
